It’s well with Nigeria. We do have our setbacks, and aiming towards greatness, just like any other country.

Using the troubled and homeless to justify our state is baseless and void.

Why didn’t he pick Obi Cubanna to justify how great Nigeria happens to be. But quick to use people’s predicaments to portray a “Whole” country.

None of you ever said this rubbish during GEJ ooo, you never asked for patience, now you are asking for patience and trying to justify nonsense. No way, you guys set a high pedestal for yourselves and you must be evaluated based on that. Nigeria is not okay and we all know it including yourself.

Most of them are not gamblers, they just need a place to lie and sleep.
I used to work in a betking shop that operates 24/7 and I saw this a lot.

Don't blame hardship, this is not the effect of bad govt, a graduate Hawking water is effect of bad govt, not this one.
These are people that doesn't want to work yet wants to make money, and they don't want to start small and grow, they want to turn their 100 naira to 15k in 90mins. Some of them even have small businesses that fetch them little money, but after the day's work, this is where they spend the money.
I agree with you 💯

if people can leave their houses and sleep in a bar, if people can leave their houses and sleep in a brothel, why won't these ones sleep in a bet shop.
You are underestimating the power behind addiction


Good @least you a raise a point, now can you refer me to a bar where over five people sleep on the floor, and owner allows it
it common sense Men leave there house to go fvck in a brothel over night not really to sleep, and no ashewo will allow sleep over without gain.
You are just making an arguement where not necessary, i acknowledge *addiction" can make people do the unthinkable But addiction can never make over 10 random people to abandon there house n sleep on a floor in one night ... thats tew much of a coincidence

I wonder how we reason in Nigeria sef. Nigeria has had a spiraling economy for years that is so obvious to any human with eyes and a brain to see. The amount of revenue the country generates has greatly reduced, the amount of corruption in the country has greatly increased, the amount of jobs being created has greatly reduced yet Nigerians keep giving birth in multitudes, the average poor man has nothing less than 4 children, do Nigerains even think about the future at all, do you guys understand the horror you are putting your kids in.

The population of Nigeria is greatly increasing mean while the economy is greatly dwindling to the ground, people that are giving birth need to understand that the next coming years of Nigeria will be a horror, crime rates will sky rocket, there will be very few jobs with millions competeing, businesses will collapse, starting your own businesses wont be as easy as it used to be. You are literally setting your kids up for failure.
But uner still get the mentality say "e go better" and "God go provide", I dey laugh sha.

Don't worry Op it will soon reach the point where these guys can't afford 100 naira to gamble anymore then they will start robbing, kidnapping, sacrificing and murdering people.

Great Post.

There's one fool on this platform that was defending the evil form of capitalism being practiced in Nigeria and attacking me for daring to criticise the evil capitalists that keep declaring billions in profits but keep paying Nigerian labour force peanuts for their efforts while the government stupidly looks away.

This is how they have systematically degraded Nigeria's labour force.

Gambling is the second option for southern youths while banditry kidnapping and terrorism is the second option for the youths in the north.

One day, all these frustrated Nigerians will band together to eat the socalled useless political leaders in Nigeria who have turned Nigerians to slaves in their own country

When u look at this picture, u might think that these people lost all their money to gambling hence the reason they were lying on the floor. But let me give you the real picture.
This shop is located in Port Harcourt (won't give the exact location for some reasons)
They operate from dusk till dawn, so some homeless people (mostly abokis) goes there to pass the night.
That's what's happening in the picture

shut up! Yen yen yen yen


Some of you that managed to get small 8am-5pm jobs with next to nothing salaries won't let us breathe.

For as long as you wake up everyday,betting is one of the numerous ways of being hopeful for a good day.
I didn't see you blaming your corruption-filled government and the ripple devastating effects it has on the citizens.

People like you be forming 'responsible" citizens, yet na 'suffering and smiling" dey choke you..
Hustle your own and let others hustle theirs,cos the last time I checked,gambling(excluding underage) isn't a crime in Nigeria

OP I do not think that you completely understand the picture… YES! The rate of betting in Nigeria today (particularly amongst the youths) is skyrocketing and alarming… but you see it is not everyone you see lying there came to bet… recently some bet companies decided to run a 24/7 package I.e the bet shops stays open round clock, so some other persons who are homeless took advantage of the development to house themselves particularly at night. Atleast that would house them against cold and insecurity…. Make them know say na only where go bath and brush for morning remain….
